If its all Motueka why not dry hop with it? I always dry hop in the fermenter, before I crash cool to keg, I find that the crash cooling causes most of the hop matter to drop out when the yeast flocculates.

You may want to consider making a "hop tea" - boiling some more motueka for say 5-10min to extract some more hop flavour. Then also dry hop for some more aroma.

 

Some people use a coffee plunger to strain off the hops - I usually just bung it into the fermenter like Reviled Says. I usually bulk prime as I have an eclectic collection of bottles (all different sizes) so when I transfer to the bottling bucket I cable-tie a 20cm/20cm square "bag" of swiss voile onto the end of my transfer hose and filter out any big bits when I transfer. (Make sure you santise everything well)
